A wonderful experience awaits tourists who have not as yet ventured deep into the South American continent. Peru Tours offer a wonder world of ancient civilizations and expansive nature. Touring the ancient and modern Peruvian environs will refresh even those who think that they have long since seen it all.
Peru is now a country of many ethnic backgrounds and cultures in which Spanish is the main spoken language, although both native languages and English can be heard in the cities. The country stretches from the Pacific coast plains to the Andes Mountain peaks and down into the Amazon Basin. In short, it offers a wealth of experiences for tourists.
Virtually all Peruvian tours end, or begin, at Machu Picchu. This is the fifteenth century Inca site. Situated high on a mountain ridge, it is known as the lost city and has given rise to numerous tales of finding treasures in the jungle.
It is in Machu Picchu that one finds the true mystery of this land. The site of a great civilization, it was unknown in the Western world until an American historian revealed its existence in the early twentieth century. The National Geographic Society of the United States funded exploration and many great treasures of the Incas were removed to Yale University. Machu Picchu is now valued and protected as a national treasure by Peruvians.
The trail leads one through valleys and up steep slopes to Machu Picchu where the Inca Emperor lived half a millennium ago. The magnificent architect found at this site became an inspiration for Art Deco in the early twentieth century. The nearby city of Cuzco is a World Heritage site offering ancient ruins, history, culture and even a lively nightlife.
Peru Tours are not restricted to Inca remains. The Catholic Church was introduced into the region by the Spanish Conquistadors in the sixteenth century and the most magnificent churches have been built in towns and cities across the land. Spanish descendants and Amerindians have lived side by side for centuries creating an amazing diversity of expression in art, cuisine and music that makes a visit to any town or city an amazing experience.
Young adventurers will find delight in three thousand kilometers of coastline with wonderful beaches easily accessed from the great Pan American highway. A visit to the cloud forest or the tropical jungle will reveal many of the three thousand species of splendid orchids to be found in the country. With over three hundred endemic species of birds, Peru is paradise for birdwatchers from all over the globe.
Tourists to this South American land will find bright handmade crafts in most markets. Be sure to bargain for a crafted item to take home as a memento. On Peru Tours, be sure to take your camera. You will find many scenes that you will want to capture on film or electronically and keep as your personal memento of beautiful Peru.
